One day, as he browses through the personal section of a newspaper he sees an ad that reads: 'Lonely? Need Love? Call 1-900-HOT BABES.'

homeless was launched in Hungary. A small selected group of homeless families were given
houses, gardens and animals in Tarnabod, a small village lying some 120 km from Budapest,
in order to give them the chance to restart their lives. Who were these selected people?
How would the poor people living in the village take to these "privileged"
families? Would they accept or exclude the new arrivals? The film follows the personal
dramas of three different families, while acquainting the viewer with the main
participants of the program and providing a glimpse into the life in this village. Festivals: Prisma Film Festival 2006 (Best documentary), 3rd International Festival of Young Filmmakers 2006 (Main prize of Documentary section) |
